My apologies if you get this news twice. I sent news for both the 9th and 10th in one file, and I think the file was larger than that allowed per message. Judy R. M. ROCKWELL BADLY WOUNDED Private Raymond M. Rockwell, a former well known young man of this city, was severely wounded in action in France on Nov. 4, according to a telegram received from the war department at Washington by Mrs. William Green, of 1539 First avenue, sister of the wounded soldier. Private Rockwell enlisted in the army from Alliance, Ohio, and trained at Camp Gordon, Ga., leaving for France on Memorial Day of this year. He was a member of the 330th infantry and saw considerable hard fighting during the closing campaign against the Huns. While in this city, Rockwell was employed as a salesman for the W. S. Aaron Furniture company, but left here several years ago for Alliance, Ohio. He was well known among the younger element of the city. The message did not state the nature of the wound he received but additional information will be forthcoming in the near future. His many friends will hope that his wounds are not of a serious nature and that he will be able to return to his native country in the near future.

On December 7, 1885, while engaged as a brakeman by the Pennsylvania Railroad company, Mr. Fickes was engaged in helping shift cars and make up a train at Elizabeth Furnace east of Bellwood. By some means or other, he was jolted from the train, the wheels passing over his leg making it necessary to amputate the member near the hip. While the loss of the leg has impaired his walk, it never interfered with his activities. With the use of a crutch, which he handles with the dexterity of an expert, he is able to do about anything that other people with two legs accomplish. He spent the day at his home at Lakemont, where he is suffering with a sore hand, entertaining some friends who called and incidentally attending to some matters of business that needed his attention.
